Georgetown Name Usage and Vendor PR Policy

Georgetown does not provide endorsements of products or vendors or contribute to vendor case studies. Upon approval from the Office of Communications, a vendor may utilize Georgetown’s name in a text list of customers or clients, or in a work portfolio. Any logo or likeness usage must be approved by the Georgetown Visual Identity Group.

Georgetown University does not allow the use of its name or image in social media posts by vendors and contractors.

Georgetown does not generally issue joint press releases with vendors or outside organizations, and press releases using the Georgetown University name must be approved by Georgetown’s Office of Communications. Releases must be factual and may not include vendor promotion, including quotes from university representatives that may imply endorsement.

Exceptions may be made at times where the objectives of the collaboration are consistent with Georgetown’s mission and values. In this case the Office of Communications may approve an exception for limited use of the Georgetown name and marks.

Any questions or approvals should be coordinated through the Office of Communications.
